Both sides' team members stepped onto the competition platform.
Class Four's members were Jialong, Lin Zunyuan, and Mosi.
Jialong was not tall, squat and stocky, but he looked exceptionally sturdy.
Lin Zunyuan was thin and frail, while Mosi had an average build.
Long Yuan stood slightly ahead, in the center between Gu Yue and Xie Xie. Clearly, he was the main force in this match.
"Prepare!"
The two sides stood fifty meters apart as Long Hengxu raised his right hand high.
"The first match of the new school year's Class Advancement Tournament—First Grade Class Four versus First Grade Class Five—begin!"
As Long Hengxu's words fell, all the chattering from the spectators ceased.
Everyone fell silent, staring intently at the competition platform.
The thrilling match had finally arrived.
Which side would emerge victorious?
Everyone was looking forward to it.
However, most people believed Class Five would probably lose. After all, they were the bottom-ranked class.
It would not be easy for them to turn things around.
Boom! A gust of force erupted across the competition platform as all six students instantly released their Martial Souls.
The three students of First Grade Class Four released three white Soul Rings.
Jialong, standing at the very front, suddenly took a large step forward. His body swelled slightly as he let out a low growl.
His brown eyes abruptly turned yellow, and at that moment, his arms changed as well, becoming several degrees thicker and stronger.
His Martial Soul was Wolf Type, and he charged forward in large strides.
Most people had not expected this squat fellow to be Class Four's main force.
Appearances truly could be deceiving.
After quietly chanting a few words, Lin Zunyuan gained a slender staff in his hand, and the Soul Ring beneath his feet flashed.
A Red Light shot from the tip of the staff and landed on Jialong.
Almost at the same time, a trace of blood-red appeared in Jialong's yellow eyes.
His body expanded and grew stronger once more, and his aura became even more overbearing.
Clearly, Lin Zunyuan was a Support Battle Soul Master, and his first Soul Skill was a buff-type ability.
On the other side, Mosi flashed and hid behind Jialong, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
He was an Agility Attack System Battle Soul Master.
On Class Five's side, Xie Xie was extremely fast. With a flash, he had already rushed toward Jialong.
However, just as he was about to reach Jialong, he suddenly darted sideways, circling around him and pouncing toward Lin Zunyuan behind him.
Lin Zunyuan was a Support Battle Soul Master, making him highly valuable.
In team battles, the first target to eliminate was always the Support Battle Soul Master.
"Mosi!"
Jialong shouted, and Mosi, who had been hiding behind him, immediately chased after Xie Xie.
Both were extremely fast. Agility Attack System against Agility Attack System was the proper matchup.
Roar...
At that moment, accompanied by a dragon's roar, Long Yuan's White Dragon Martial Soul possessed him, and the Water Dragon Spirit appeared on his shoulder.
As he waved both hands, Water Curtains rapidly appeared in the surrounding air.
In an instant, the Water Curtains transformed into a Mystic Frost Giant Dragon. With a boom, it charged toward the opposing side.
A hundred-year Spirit provided two Soul Skills. These were the two Soul Skills Long Yuan had obtained, with Water Element Control being one of them.
One Soul Skill could actually be considered two. Water could transform into ice, taking the form of Ice Cones, Frost Swords, Mystic Ice Dragon Flight, and other methods of attack.
However, Long Yuan was somewhat different. His water could instantly turn into Ultimate Ice.
The Mystic Frost Giant Dragon, Ice Cones, and other constructs he formed all possessed terrifying destructive power.
At this sight, quite a few people in the spectator stands rose to their feet.
Mystic Ice Dragon Flight—a giant dragon soaring through the air—was simply incredible.
No one had expected someone in Class Five to possess a Dragon Kind Martial Soul. That entrance alone overwhelmed every opponent in terms of presence.
As a Strong Attack Battle Soul Master, Jialong had great confidence in his own strength. He fiercely reached out with his right hand, attempting to block the Mystic Frost Giant Dragon's attack.
Bang! The Mystic Frost Giant Dragon surged forward without pause. Jialong trying to compete in strength was nothing more than a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
Even without Long Yuan attacking personally, the power carried by the Mystic Frost Giant Dragon was already extremely terrifying.
The Mystic Frost Giant Dragon's hand collided with Jialong's, knocking his hand aside.
Then, with a bang, it slammed viciously into his chest.
Jialong was sent flying more than ten meters by the Mystic Frost Giant Dragon, crashing to the ground in a daze.
Xie Xie was also extremely fast. As Long Yuan sent Jialong flying, his Light Dragon Dagger struck Lin Zunyuan on the head, and he retreated three or four meters.
Almost at the same time, the fireball Gu Yue had thrown also forced Mosi back.
"Stop!"
"First Grade Class Five wins!"
At that moment, Long Hengxu called a timely halt and announced Class Five's victory.
Only then did everyone clearly see that all three students from First Grade Class Five had yellow Hundred-Year Soul Rings.
No wonder they had defeated their opponents in less than ten seconds.
Their Soul Ring configuration alone was terrifying.
After a brief silence, cheers suddenly erupted from First Grade Class Five's side.
"Although First Grade Class Five has won, you are still Class Five until the Class Advancement Tournament ends.
Once the Class Advancement Tournament is over and the rankings are rearranged, you will continue challenging First Grade Class Three tomorrow."
After saying that, Long Hengxu turned and left.
With today's match over, everyone gradually dispersed and left.
Wu Zhangkong did not even glance at Class Four's homeroom teacher. With his head held high, he calmly said to Class Five, "School's out!"
Then he left as well.
Before leaving, Long Hengxu glanced at Xie Xie and Long Yuan.
Because of the fight at the start of school, he had placed both of them in Class Five.
Gu Yue had also been exceptionally admitted later, after Wu Zhangkong came to him personally, and placed in Class Five.
He had not expected these three to become Class Five's competitors in the Class Advancement Tournament.
Wu Zhangkong had gotten a bargain.
Still, although not many people at the academy liked the cold and aloof Wu Zhangkong, they had to admit that both his teaching ability and personal strength were exceptional.
The seamless cooperation between Long Yuan and the other two just now was inseparable from Wu Zhangkong's meticulous guidance.
"Come on, let's go have some fun!"
When they reached the front of the dormitory, Xie Xie came over to Long Yuan, patted him on the shoulder, and waggled his eyebrows.
"Where to? I don't want to waste money on having fun!"
Although Long Yuan had accumulated over a hundred thousand Federal Coins by taking forging commissions, he still did not want to spend money carelessly.
He needed to save up to buy his next Soul Spirit.
His next Soul Spirit should at least be Thousand-Year Level.
It would be very expensive.
"I'll pay!"
Xie Xie knew Long Yuan came from a small place and that his family was not well-off, so he readily said so.
"I'm coming too!"
Gu Yue had originally been heading toward the Girls' Dormitory. Hearing their conversation, she quickly ran over.
"Girls should stay home. You're not allowed to come!"
Xie Xie rolled his eyes at Gu Yue. Go stay somewhere else.
He had always been bothered by the fact that he could not defeat Gu Yue.
He did not want to hang out with her.
"If you don't let me come, I'll have Teacher Wu arrange special training. I don't think our coordination is good enough yet!"
As she spoke, Gu Yue deliberately ran toward Wu Zhangkong's office.
"Hey, hey, fine, fine, Great Auntie, I'm truly convinced by you..."
Seeing this, Xie Xie had no choice but to hurriedly call Gu Yue back.
Special training after a match would be torture. After a match, they should go out and relax.
"Hehe, then let's go!"
Gu Yue giggled and moved to Long Yuan's other side, standing so close that she was just short of linking arms with him.
After a while, the three of them appeared at the Snack Street near the academy.
It was a not particularly wide Snack Street, with shops lining both sides.
As soon as the three of them reached the street, they caught the aroma of all kinds of snacks.
Their mouths instantly watered.
PS: The PK is still ongoing. Please leave a five-star review, bookmark the novel, post paragraph comments, and keep following up to the latest chapter—it's really important.
If I lose the PK, I won't have the motivation to keep writing.
These past few days, I've been posting three or four, even four or five chapters a day, unlike other authors who only update twice.
Thank you for your support!
